Lawyer and Magsasaka party-list Rep. Argel Cabatbat at the special general assembly of the organization held on August 18, 2024 in Guimba, Nueva Ecija. Party-list group Magsasaka recently conducted a special general assembly and victory party led by lawyer Argel Cabatbat, following the Supreme Court decision, declaring that Soliman Villamin, Jr. was validly removed from his position as national chairperson.
A total of 7,996 delegates from Central Luzon also attended the assembly from the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Zambales, Tarlac, Bulacan, Pampanga, Aurora. “The farmers own the Magsasaka party-list. You must be obeyed. You should be heard. The decision is yours on who you want to lead. We are not like other party-list groups that are owned by a few,” he said in Tagalog. “Our victory in the Supreme Court is a victory for farmers, your victory.”
In a decision penned by Associate Justice Jose Midas Marquez, the SC upheld that Villamin was rightfully ousted as national chairperson of Magsasaka party-list and his first nominee, Roberto Gerard Nazal, Jr., cannot serve as party-list representative.
